Chapter 1377 Qin Tian

"Hey, what did I tell you? With your current strength, going in is just asking for death; you won't gain anything."

Zhao Qin looked at Ye Yuan, who was covered in wounds, with a sneer.

He had seen too many students who overestimated themselves and felt no sympathy.

He had already advised them before; if they didn't listen, who was to blame?

Qin Shao handed his academy token to Zhao Qin and said, "Senior Brother, please deduct one entry point for the Sword Grave and credit it to Ye Yuan's token."

In the academy, this kind of deduction was common and nothing unusual.

Of course, the prerequisite was that one voluntarily requested it.

Zhao Qin was taken aback, then laughed, "Hey, you newcomers don't know how precious points are for living in the academy, do you?"

Qin Shao glanced at Zhao Qin and explained, "I lost a bet to him. He lasted a full month on the first level of the Sword Grave; that was the wager."

Given Qin Shao's personality, he usually wouldn't bother to explain.

But for some reason, he inexplicably found himself explaining anyway.

Hearing Qin Shao's explanation, Zhao Qin was shocked: "What? He... he lasted a month like that? Impossible!"

No wonder Zhao Qin was surprised; with Ye Yuan's strength, staying inside for a month would have left him cut to pieces by the chaotic swords. How could he have come out alive?

Many weaker students would go in for a while, get injured by the sword qi, then come out to heal for a few days.

Once healed, they would go back in, repeating the process.

Zhao Qin thought that Ye Yuan, with such severe injuries, must have been hurt like this on his last attempt and came straight out.

But Qin Shao said Ye Yuan had stayed inside for a whole month!

Qin Shao disdained to explain further; he had his pride. He merely said calmly, "Senior Brother, please deduct the points."

"Ah? Oh, oh!"

Zhao Qin was still in shock. At Qin Shao's prompting, he deducted twenty points from Qin Shao and credited them to Ye Yuan's token.

After doing this, Qin Shao said to Ye Yuan, "When will you come next time?"

Ye Yuan forced a smile: "What, want to compete again?"

Qin Shao shook his head: "Competing again is meaningless. Next time, I'll definitely last thirty days. I just want to see what you're up to."

Ye Yuan smiled: "Hmm... barring any accidents, in half a month."

Qin Shao nodded: "Good. I'll come again in half a month."

Just as Qin Shao was about to leave, someone approached from the opposite direction.

Seeing the newcomer, Qin Shao's expression changed, and he bowed: "Greetings, Brother Qin Tian!"

Qin Tian's face was stern, expressionless. Seeing Qin Shao greet him, he nodded and said, "I heard you won first place this time?"

Zhao Qin's face stiffened, and he looked at Qin Shao in surprise. He hadn't expected this guy to be this year's top scorer!

If he was the top scorer, Qin Shao's strength was self-evident.

But he had lost to this mid-Dongxuan cultivator?

How was that possible?

Zhao Qin suddenly felt his mind in a mess.

Qin Shao seemed somewhat afraid of this Qin Tian and respectfully replied, "Yes, that's right. Work hard; in the future, there will surely be a place for you in the Qin family."

Qin Shao said, "Yes, Brother Qin Tian. Your younger brother will certainly work hard!"

Qin Tian's gaze now turned to Ye Yuan, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he said, "Stay away from that kid—he'll be dead soon enough!"

Qin Tian's sudden words stunned everyone.

Qin Shao's expression was utterly bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Ye Yuan's face darkened, and a cold glint also flashed in his eyes.

Clearly, Qin Tian was referring to the incident at Qingfeng Tower that day.

But this Qin Tian was too arrogant, looking down on everyone.

In his eyes, he had already sentenced Ye Yuan to death.

Qin Tian had no intention of explaining. He handed the academy token to Zhao Qin and said, "Eleventh floor, five times!"

Ye Yuan's gaze tightened again. He hadn't expected Qin Tian to be so powerful!

Those who could reach the eleventh floor were basically the strongest batch in the academy!

Zhao Qin quickly swiped the token for Qin Tian, then respectfully handed it back, flattering, "Senior Brother Qin Tian, it's done!"

Qin Tian nodded slightly, took the token, and went straight into the Sword Grave.

Only then did Qin Shao come to his senses, only to find that Ye Yuan had already dragged his heavily injured body away, step by step.

His brows furrowed, wondering why Ye Yuan had provoked his elder brother Qin Tian.

But since he was targeted by Qin Tian, Ye Yuan would most likely not escape this calamity.

In Qin Shao's eyes, there was no opponent among his peers.

Jia Chong was strong, yes, but the gap between him and Jia Chong would only grow larger!

But Ye Yuan gave him a completely different feeling. He had a sense that Ye Yuan would become his formidable rival in the future.

He needed such a rival!

Finally, Qin Shao sighed and slowly left.

Zhao Qin looked at Ye Yuan's retreating back with some pity, shook his head, and said, "That kid seems somewhat unusual, but unfortunately... he provoked Senior Brother Qin Tian!"

...

"Oh my ancestor, how did you get so injured? Who did this? I'll help you get revenge!"

As soon as he saw Ye Yuan, Xie Jingyi jumped up.

Ye Yuan said weakly, "Less nonsense, help me inside quickly!"

Xie Jingyi quickly stepped forward and helped Ye Yuan into the residence.

Back in his room, Ye Yuan swallowed two divine-grade pills, and only then did his injuries gradually come under control.

But this time, his injuries were indeed severe; he couldn't hope to recover in less than ten days.

Seeing that Ye Yuan's injuries had improved a bit, Xie Jingyi said, "Brother, it's only been a few days, how did you end up like this?"

Ye Yuan said irritably, "I was cultivating in the Sword Grave, didn't I tell you?"

Xie Jingyi shrank his neck and said in surprise, "No way? Your cultivation is too dangerous! This isn't cultivation, it's risking your life! Fatty here wants to live a few more days, so I'd better not go."

Ye Yuan couldn't be bothered to argue with him and asked, "Let me ask you something. Do you know who Qin Tian is? Hmm... he should be from the Qin family."

Xie Jingyi looked at Ye Yuan with a strange expression and said, "No way? You don't even know Qin Tian?"

Ye Yuan said curiously, "Is he that famous? Why must I know him?"

Xie Jingyi stared at Ye Yuan as if he were an alien and said, "Famous? He's way more than famous! He's extremely famous, incredibly famous! Almost everyone in the entire Wumeng Royal City knows him, okay!"

Ye Yuan frowned, realizing he seemed to have been targeted by someone formidable.

Xie Jingyi continued, "Back then, Qin Tian was only thirty years old, at the mid-Dongxuan realm, and he won the top prize in that year's competition! At one hundred and fifty, he passed the direct disciple assessment and became the City Lord's personal disciple! Now, almost everyone in Wumeng Royal City believes he will be the first to break through to the Divine Lord realm in a hundred thousand years! Tell me, is he famous?"
